This Week's Obsession: Elena's Over-the-Knee Boots

Episode 14 was full of blood and gore, with werewolves dying right and left. Guess they didn’t call it “Crying Wolf,” for nothing, right? Lucky for us, there was a good dose of fashion as well! We couldn’t take our eyes off the brown leather over-the-knee boots that Elena wore, especially when they were wrapped around Stefan’s torso... but we digress.

These boots are everything you want in a shoe: comfortable (they have a small heel), practical (they can be worn with just about anything), and totally chic. We love the buttons down the side, a salute to this fall’s military trend. Those buckles are awesome as well.

When over-the-knee boots came into vogue a few years back, we weren’t convinced they’d last more than a season, and we certainly weren’t up for trying them ourselves. Flash forward to the present, and our over-the-knee boots are a wardrobe staple. Who knew?!

It’s the perfect time of year to pick up a pair of boots, as many stores clear them out for spring merchandise. Elena’s exact pair is by Sam Edelman, and normally costs $300. We found them on sale at bloomingdales.com for $210.

If you’re willing to settle for black, and don’t mind purchasing a final sale item, you can score these boots for $150:﻿

Still not in your budget? We found this doppleganger pair for $29.97. Also a final sale item, and missing the buttons, but still featuring those buckles. And you can’t beat that price. What are you waiting for? Grab yourself a pair of boots before they’re gone!
